Description

The 1996 Vintage Duval-Leroy Blanc de Chardonnay is an elegant, medium-bodied and sophisticated champagne with a chameleon character and endless appeal. Duval-Leroy is based in Vertus, a village in the Cote de Blancs, and is now one of the largest land-owners in all Champagne.


1996 is an extraordinary Champagne vintage. It has been compared to 1928, but no Champagne vintage on record produced grapes that averaged 10.3% potential alcohol with 10g/litre total acidity.


This lush, opulent `96 has the texture of cashmere wrapped- around vanilla bean, citrus, honey and coffee notes, with an aftertaste of grilled hazelnut.
